Abstract

ABSTRACT This article theorises epistemologies of ‘space’ in critical studies on terrorism, expanding the research agenda beyond the straitjacket of historicism and discourse-centrism. It traces two theoretical approaches: 1) rescaling terrorism as mundane, situated and private, and 2) treating the ‘space’ of terrorism as a liminal zone between potentiality and anticipatory space-making. This critical spatial lens offers new insights to CTS. In terms of securitisation, this perspective is attentive to the ‘space of securitisation’, the dynamics of space, or space as a discursive process and a subject constitutive of securitisation. In the study of radicalisation, it can help us understand how space and the psychological interpretation of material conditions are co-constituted to shape the process of radicalisation. Finally, it also creates new possibilities for CTS practitioners to employ the embodied, embodying and sensory dimensions of violence, involving not only visual and material dimensions but also sound and hearing, to form an individualised form of resistance against state terrorism. This article attempts to systematically map the permutations of new theoretical and conceptual developments in the critical studies on the spatiality of terrorism.

恐怖主义地缘政治中的空间批判研究
本文将恐怖主义批判研究中的“空间”认识论理论化,将研究议程扩展到历史主义和话语中心主义的束缚之外。它追溯了两种理论方法:1)将恐怖主义重新定义为世俗的,定位的和私人的,2)将恐怖主义的“空间”视为潜在和预期空间制造之间的界限区域。这个关键的空间透镜为CTS提供了新的见解。就证券化而言,这一视角关注“证券化的空间”,空间的动态,或空间作为一个话语过程和构成证券化的主体。在激进化的研究中,它可以帮助我们理解空间和物质条件的心理解释是如何共同构成来塑造激进化的过程的。最后,它也为CTS从业者创造了新的可能性,利用暴力的具体化、具体化和感官维度,不仅包括视觉和物质维度,还包括声音和听觉,形成一种个性化的抵抗国家恐怖主义的形式。本文试图系统地描绘恐怖主义空间性批判性研究中新的理论和概念发展的排列。
